Michael Costantino: The Song Inside The Tune

Michael Costantino has a blood flow in his fingertips on this trio album with Harvie S/b and Thierry Arpino. His interpretations of standards is sublime, rich in texture as he assuages over the brushes on “Yesterdays” and delivers a soft impressionistic intro before gliding into a soft R&B read of “Beautiful”. Arpino brings a hiply pulsed intro to a soulful strut on “Just The Two Of Us” and Harvie S bows with yearning emotion around Costantino’s delicate ivories on an aria of “Pathetique”. A stately read of “Speak Softly” is alluring in its understatement while a mellow soul of “Last Dance” let the fingers intertwine as friends. A hand not overplayed.
